The "minimal" software installed by the installer is a bit more than
you need.  All that is required is a copy of System and Finder.

What I did was install the "minimal" software on a floppy and then 
deleted everything but System and Finder.  I then copied Disinfectant
to the floppy, locked the floppy, and WAHLAH!  I even had 66K to
spare.  

I suppose another solution would be to make a bootable 1.44 floppy,
but not everyone has one of those.
